Have a look at my Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/66737297@N06/).

Most of the recent photos are at Chesterfield where the Erewash line re-joins the MML and they will give you a feel of what we get through. There are also a few pictures from the last few days showing the diverted oil trains as mentioned by Mark.
